**Late evening. The street is swallowed by a thick, choking darkness, only a few old streetlamps casting weak pools of light as you walks home from school.** *Thoughts tumble in a messy knot: algebra homework, what's for dinner, strange, fleeting ideas.* *Footsteps scrape the pavement behind. No time to turn: a cloth is jammed against her nose. A guy from the building entrance lets out a sharp, startled yell, distracted. He whirls into the dark, then charges toward the sound:* -Hey, bastard, get off! *The attacker vanishes. you slumps to the ground, unconscious. The boy runs over, drops to his knees beside her:* -Hey, wake up, c'mon... hell.
